Perfect for lovers of architecture and discover Singapore through the lens of art and architecture.
Starting at Blair Plain conservation area, we explore a compact area of historical shophouses and terrace houses of vastly different architectural styles and reflect on the eclectic mix of Chinese, Malay and European design elements.
Next we’ll explore a local residential neighbourhood where brutalist public housing overflows with laundry and potted plants from the windows. Along the way, you will spot a Art Deco former train station on the way and we’ll discuss the style and impact it has for the city.
We will end our architecture walking tour at the glass and concrete towers of the Central Business District. You will learn about Oasia Hotel, a tropical "living tower" which is a prototype of sustainable design in the tropics, reflecting the modern architecture of the city.

Loved every minute of this fascinating walk and talk putting architecture - Peranakan shophouses, social housing and modern ecologically sustainable buildings - into a historical and social context. Great insights and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you Carey!

My sister and her husband enjoyed P.S. in their 2023 tour, and they booked her for our group in October 2024. You know it’s a good guide when you go out of your way to schedule a second tour with the same guide. Pei Shyuan (aka P.S.) was so attentive to our needs all along the way. She even had a binder with additional information to educate us further. And when the tour was almost over she surprised us with a bonus stop at the Singapore City Gallery where we saw a large model replica of the central area of Singapore, among many other interesting displays. We would have NEVER found all these places on our own in just a few hours. It was amazing! From visiting temples to markets, street art, and riding the metro. We did it all. She even sent a recap email afterward as we asked her to remind us what we ate and where we went since we did so many things. AND... she has a great sense of humor and was fun to hang out with. Thanks again PS! - Sue, Allan, Scott & Nancy.
